Apparently Ocon was too aggressive with Alonso yesterday and Alpine aren’t happy. Is this true?
Sainz is the most consistent driver on the grid. Also, Ocon needs to deliver this year. He’ll probably be helped out with Alonso retiring, who has been unlucky this year. He had a mechanical issue running 6th yesterday and was ahead of Ocon again in Bahrain before Alpine messed his strategy up.
I think Piastri and Ocon will be at Alpine next season.
Was this better than Hamilton Rosberg in Bahrain in 2014? That was one of the best races I ever watched live.
If Leclerc Verstappen was better, it must have been tremendous. Two young drivers battling it out for the rest of the season.

Far far better than ham vs rosberg in 2014

Kinda agree. Looks like a low downforce / high speed circuit focusing on straightline speed. If it is true monaco is getting the axe for this place, im all for it

It should be good for overtaking in theory and reckon it'll be like an easier version of baku and jeddah. Gives me rbr, sochi and monza vibes
The much rumoured Audi + Porsche entries to F1 appear to be as close as they've ever been according to Reuters.
"Audi will offer around 500 million euros ($556.30 million) for McLaren, one source said, while Porsche intends to establish a long-term partnership with racing team Red Bull starting in several years' time."

Strongly opposed to them replacing either of those teams outside engine supply.
Would prefer they purchase Williams or possibly even Sauber.

I agree, mclaren is such an iconic name in the sport so I would only support it if it was about engine supply. This year has definitely proven that power unit is very important in how the team does over the season. while mclaren did well in jeddah (ignoring danny ric's problem which seems/hopefully is a stand alone) i do have suspicions that this was down to them not having to brake too much around the circuit. Hopefully, a new power unit offering will help them to challenge for constructor and world championships again, especially in the potential electric era

That’s a lot lol. There were rumours about this re mclaren last year. Vw entry into f1 has been rumoured for ages. It makes sense for both to go with an existing team already and there are some possibilities tbh
McLaren would be a good choice from an Audi point of view at least.

Maybe, but with McLaren you may also get the roadcar division ad well. Haas might be a good point for entry as Gene is looking to sell, dauber recently had an offer from Andretti so would they go for it (I release Audi is a better offerer)
In fact, thinking about it if I were Sauber I’d go with Audi, make it the hat trick of big German car manufactures you’ve been with lol

I would strongly oppose the roadcar division/company as a whole moving into German hands.

Mclaren was owned by Mercedes till late 00s / mclaren was the works mercedes team from 1995-2009. Tbf, audi owns lamborghini & Ducati and have helped them greatly in gt racing and moto gp

Not saying it would be bad for the F1 team however as an economic nationalist i'm not a fan of British staples being in foreign ownership. Nor do i think its good that German automotive firms have such dominance in the sector.
Aprillia take their first ever MotoGP win in Argentina
Admittedly in the car industry the skill advantage in the UK means that we've not seen significant ill effects (also worth remembering Jaguar went to Ford before Tata so we replaced one with another) but certainly in a lot of other sectors foreign ownership has simply led to outsourcing production over time which has made me skeptical. If the UK is ever to regain industrial supremecy (below China/US at least) then we won't catch Germany by allowing greater German ownership.
